Benjamin Bates Tisdale,1862 orphan
My great Granfathers mother was a Bates,and the story that was passed down was that the first women doctor Mary Elizabeth Bates was his aunt (but can't find the connection) We heard that his dad died and he didn't like his stepdad so he headed out on his own at age7 Each records found states a different birth place, the last record shows D.C. Can anyone Help?
